This elective course is suitable especially for those students who in their creation incline to creative expression by means of painting, and offers them a possibility and space for statement, perfection and experiment in this discipline. The seminar can as well serve as a purposeful addition to the main course of study through finding optimal settings of realizations by interconnecting photography and painting media. During the study, students will verify various painting approaches when solving specific individual assignments, and will go through regular proofs before finishing them. During the course, students get acquainted (both theoretically and practically) with basic painting techniques and their application on grounds of various qualities. They use various painting techniques and their combinations, for example: Indian ink, aquarelle, gouache, tempera, both dry and oil pastels, wax colours, etc. At the same time, they are taught to be able to decide themselves, which technology and painting technique is the most adequate one for the particular artistic task or assignment, and also, which way is the most convenient related to their gradually developing creative expression and opinion. Assignments get more difficult in time, from a still and an object up to a head and figure (half figures and figures). Students can study an act according to a live model. The painting course is based on gradual cultivating the student's artistic opinion with emphasis on purposeful expression. In addition to the exercises according to a model, the students are continuously assigned individual tasks, which to a greater extent, enable their personal artistic creativity and individual approach. 1. Introduction to the semester - specification of technical and material requirements. 2. Objects - space, perspective, proportions. 3. Techniques and technologies of painting - assigning a semestral project. 4. Objects - colour. 5. Objects - light, shade, reflections. 6. Objects - structure: surfaces, textures, materials. 7. Objects - graphic shorthand, plurality, characteristics of the whole. 8. Aberration - suppression of space, colour inversion, decomposition. 9. Anthropocentrism in visual art - skull. 10. Study of a head - anatomic: characteristics, motion. 11. Study of a head - for a portrait. 12. Study of a head from the point of view of prehistoric or non-European art. 13. Study of a head - free.
